Yes, there is an ammount of credits needed to participate... as you all(participants) will die a lot, you will need credits for the "100000 fine" thing.

I already cleared this issue on the first posts... the first one and the additional info one. Reading it would show no problems. The infos are compleete, and rules simple.

If you read those osts I said about, you see that all experinced(any older player that has more chars) has to bring credits with the Starflier char. And I also wrote that any newer player that can't afford that, will get fundings from me Before the event, and the same normal prize after the event.

Any problems with this ? People that has them brings them, people who don't, gets them. And hope you don't need to trick me to get extra 10 mill lol, I can notice who is new enough, anyway it's not worth.

Words for good, for fun and more wouldn't work here if there are just few if not one... I prefer continueing on my "acting" than words on forums. As people who post here, makes an entire text thinking before posteing, for their purposes, to good, neutral or whatever. A simple chat, in-game or anywhere, would stop people from thinking on how to hide their reasons or problems before talking, and maybe discover something different/new at the other one, and change his and their opinions.

Give it another try at the situation ! You will do nothing to solve or remake things that happened in the past with others and with the server(as it got more... empty few times). It's like your friend got punched hard, and you go hit that one for revenge. Would your revenge help with something real your friend except pride, or dignity ? Your friend would still have his mark of the punch... that dissapear/gets cured with time. If you continue hitting, they won't dissapear/cure.

As you can notice, the server's hit gets cured (the one of lost players, and fun, and so on...) with new players, and I made some others that likes space sims like this to know about CF mod. But stop hitting the server more... by hitting it's players.
STOP ! And let it cure, and reborn, with each new player, each new member, the clans and server gets bigger, in group there is more fun, better battles... etc,etc,etc.

wops, yes... unfair bugs !!

For new players, the normal ruls are great.... just useing human's mind you know what it's nice to do, or not nice lol
They are clear, DO Not do x. It's understandable that there are punishments for breaking them, even if they see there are no punishments made... they stat to get free, and also some players... that start thinking or doin something wrong, for different reasons, problems or bored or enemyes, looseing PvPs or fun(and haveing to much ego), etc.

But if exceptions of situations aren't included in those pages,sometimes they would look unfair, cus there nearly always are exceptions that of some rules, that doesn't deserve those.

Anyway I hope most of the punishments are based on fines, and very short bans heh, except the very heavy ones, sure.

Maybe we should restart the thing with SPs... but not the ones that were SPs before, as they already had their ammount of problems suffered. The mechanism was quite good... just that a human/player can't take 4-6 years of problems (as SP) without changeing, a little or more, and exiting from the routine/(written or unwritten rules) with others...

The few, clan members and freelancers starteed meeting arround to think about more solutions and stuff to do together, as OP said, not to fire a gun in the air with closed eyes... at least if there are more that do so, they hit the bird

In short

With the latest changes arround the server, main problem's origins are gone. There are mostly no things to complain now, people started acting kind, and if we all drop off problems that happened until now, most of them, and act with others as we expect others act with us, all goes fine !

Just conentrate on haveing fun, friends and lookeing how new players arrive to the server, and repopulate.(I also posted about this mod and more info, on sites about freelancers and one of where you could download the original game(free heh)...) so lately would apear more players that didn't knew there were mods existing.

Want to ruin the fun of theese new players that arrive at the game with hopes of haveing fun, train and explore ?

I still have the savefiles from the Demo version on my other HDD. I got the demo free with a newspaper of games... I still have the CD with it

Yep, it's fun hunting NPCs with something lower or same as them hehe
When Iplayed the Demo version of this game when it appeared, the best ship Icould have were the ones oflvl 1 and 2 heh, I used Rhino with same weps as I have on my Starflier TDM EM now, until I killed about 3500 NPCs...

Interesting, maybe it's the testing server... at the eyes of others heh

Lifetime ban for an IOC with tag of Bounty Hunter ? <.<
Those ideas seem to be thought for a while, or took from other mods like Disco... anyway lifetime ban is something that shouldn't be heard of. Players would have problems acomplishing that, and there are always some exceptions, for different reasons...and there always can be the chance you(somebody) wake up lifetime banned, and you don't even know why... cus somebody like an enemy or @$$holes could false accuse, with a well modified screenshot or so... and if you were a good merc/police doing your job well, kicking with good skills the ones you have to, and suddenly dissapear from the server that would be HARD !! with no chances to argue ?? imo we don't need relative rules with harder punishments than server rules themselves. We already have problems with keeping the server and RP rules acomplished...

EDIT: I have no idea why, but I see things like this "shouldn\\\\\\\\'t " in my post, on my message there is no such thing, it may be a forum bug.

EDIT 2: ... there should be just 8 bars on the edit above, and I see double of them now... the apostrophe brings them proove: ' ' (wrote just an apostrophe)

But mates, how this server situation went from server conflcits until OP's ones, the current server leaks and problems are Not OP's ones... so we should start search the last post in the topic... OP did nothing on the server that would provoke any... he did closed some threads in his forum because they were going wrong for a while... and the time he established was over. But he didn't closed those threads for him or his problems.... so actually pleaze stay onthe topic of Server Situation, and how to solve them, instead of bringing more and more problems from the past...

Many things... anyway counting all the conflicts arround the server, not Az's ones, many things happened and some quite complicated, filled with secrets and hidden reasons heh, but we survived until now... and shouldn't let it down now.

Not really... 80 % or more are prefering the idea of haveing simple Starfliers, just as newbies, so it can be fast, easy and fun.

And..

Does that means that Diablo is going to make donations ? heh j/k

heh mate, anyway, good to see you're back arround mate.

They are not Just long term RP solutions, I was doing that (unfortunately by myself) since a while ago, and it worked, until now, with the specified reasons I wanted to decrease.

Still I can't be very efficient alone.

What we need now is dropping off things, and forget some replacing them with fun and other good freindships that some experience/feel.

Didn't noticed you just edited your post while I made mine. Anyway that edit really is out of topic. Books, life and so on.

Edit: Igo out, have a event to manage now

Weight reducers can't be mounted on a starflier lol, they can't be mounted neither on a Lagg... for the reason that they take more than 30 cargohold that small ships has, especially made so it ca't be mounted on small and agile ships to be more agile... as they could make some bugs... as the mass of Starflier is so small... it could make problems being smaller, or even negative

Armors make them heavyer, and slower.... you have double of Starflier's few bits of armor, but you have less handling and you are a easyer target.

The things decidedat this event are very well thaught, and the ones that has more things in favor and against, are to be decided by the beta testers next Sunday, so we don't just think them, also put in practice some that are harder to see which way is better.

And if you check deeper (think deeper) you will notice links between this, the past team Hyperspace trips I made in the past with PX, SFP and any others like pirates, and what's posted lately on the "Server's situation" thread...about new stuff and other stuff that unify players, to do something together as team and so on

I agree to both PipeHitter and Michael here, adequate punishment for offending and disrespecting players.

Yes, and after a player get banned for a period, mostly small, one day, one week, depending, the other side of that conflict will have to drop off/forget about that problem. It's like somebody steal something, gets in jail, exit and ready, until he steal again he is innocent.¡, even with a bad past.

As some players stated in their posts, we should organize some more entertaining stuff to keep people distracted and have good time at the server.

In every game most players try to be the best, I mean have the best equipment, own the best ship, having the best statistics on the server etc. Here everyone has the best stuff, did all the quests, explored everywhere. All that could be done is done (for the gameplay part). I think the best motivation for players is (after having good and close friendships), to try to reach something that is hard to achieve. Like a very rare ship that needs you to pass through a very crowded difficult hostile space to get. Maybe making the best statistics in a perspective in the server a month and be awarded with something unique ( like a PPC but has green firing color, stats would be the same, just an example). Just to make the player feel that he accomplished a task and was rewarded with something that only belongs to him.

Last thing is similar to the previous. An objective can be made available. To accomplish this mission, players would have to unite and play together. Like that example I gave before. An objective that it doesnt matter if you are a cop, a pirate, a merc, a smuggler or a freelancer. The only requirement is that you are a member of this community and want to achieve a goal that needs teamplay. It would boost the feeling of being a member of the community I believe.

Before finishing my words, I want to say that the way I see the private servers is, we are all guests in here. That means we should remember this fact every time we do something. If we think this way I think most of the issues can be solved before they even begin. Im not trying to say we should obey everything staff says or they are gods and we are vassals. It should be something mutual.

Finally I want to say I dont mean to disrespect anyone. These are just my opinions about this issue.

Thanks for being patient and reading,

DarkOmen

yes, few months ago, I've posted on the CF 1.8 ideas thread, the same idea of putting something really hard, that can only be managed in teams, harder then the trip to Hyperspace... as now there are some that try reach Hyperspace in Starflier... and I tryed it also months ago.

But that idea had nothing to see with conflits by then... even had something to see with creating more motivation for people.

I've also posted something about, that there could be more ships with same stats, exactly same, where jsut the model, system and color differs It would bring diversity to the mod, as some are getting ships that are not the best, jsut to be different.

and...

I can notice you respond quite well at anything that happens wrong to you, even nobody posted that on this thread. Even it may be on other forums, or happened in-game.

The reason of this part is, multiply that with a big numer, and you will be near to imagine the problems some, like OP had in a game.

And here you are Bond
